Hi Bruce, Hmm, on my system (BBEdit 14.0.4 under Monterey 12.1) the little document icon is in the upper right of the BBEdit window but I found it eventually. Yes, that’s helpful knowing there’s a way to get a file URL (“location”) directly. I see that Cmd-I is another way to get to that information.
I guess I should have added that I also like to include links to non-text documents or locations (e.g. PDF, Word, jpg, folders, etc.) so I need to get file URLs for those entities as well.
